Mom: "Bex..... What is this?"
Yes. She had my ultrasound picture in her hands.
"I-I"
I couldn't say anything.... I did not expect this to happen.
Dad: "Let me see."
He walked in my room to grab the picture that my mom was holding.
I didn't try stopping him because just like my mom... I couldn't move.
Dad: "Bex..... What is this!"
He was now holding the picture showing me.
"Dad.... I'm sorry."
Dad: "So this is yours?!"
"Yes.... I'm super sorry! I can explain."
Tears started filling my eyes.
Mom: "I can't be here right now."
She got up and left my room starting to cry.
Dad: "What do you mean you can explain?!"
"It was an accident! I swear! I was drunk!"
Dad: "YOU WERE WHAT?!"
I forgot he didn't know.
"It was at the party! Katelyns! Someone spiked the drinks!"
Dad: "Oh really... another lie Rebecca?!"
Now I was scared.... he never yells or uses my full name, and he usually believes me.
"It's true!! Ask mom!!"
Dad: "Sure! Ok! Why don't I also ask her why you tell so many lies!!"
Now I was angry.
"DO YOU THINK I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN?! DO YOU?!"
Dad: "DONT YELL AT ME!"
"SAME FOR YOU! Apparently you think I'm a horrible daughter because I'm lying about this?!"
Dad: "Well look at the past!"
"The past?! That's the past!!! Maybe your right!! Maybe I'm having a baby so I can prove that I won't treat my kid to think that they feel like their a failure! A mistake! Just leave."
Dad: "Excuse me?!"
"I said leave! Or I can if you want! I'll be honored too!"
Dad: "Whatever!"
He stormed out of my room and slammed the door.
Tears filled my eyes.
This was worse then breaking up with Bowie. Worse than finding out I was pregnant.
I just wanted to run away at this moment.
I ran to bed covered my face and started to cry.
*ring ring*
*buzz buzz*
It was Katelyn but I didn't feel like answering.
Out of anger I threw my phone across the room.
I didn't care what happened.... all I wanted to happen was for my family to listen to me, yes I know they will be mad and upset but I feel like everything thing I do, every step I take, I mess up.
I've must've fallen asleep for a little bit, I woke up to knocking on my door.
At first I forgot why I was in my room and why I felt like I was crying, but then I remembered what happened....
Dad: "Bex, it's dinner time..... if you wanna come down and eat, come now."
At first I didn't answer.... I didn't want to speak to anyone.
Dad: "Bex, I know your up..... Answer me now."
"Can I eat up here?"
Dad: "No..... You need to come down to have dinner, me and your mother want to have a talk with you."
"But what if I don't want to talk about it?"
Dad: "Then don't..... But when you come downstairs, we are talking about it right away.... and if you wanna eat, you have to come get your own food, so I would just come down if I were you."
At first I wasn't gonna go down, but I was kinda hungry and I don't wanna starve the baby.... Can I even? I don't wanna take any chances.
"Fine, I'll come down."
I got up and walked to my door to open it.
It's not that I really don't want to talk about this subject, it's just I don't want to talk to my parents about this... I mean I know how my mom is gonna be, but my dad.... I haven't seen him this mad in years.
I could tell what we were having from the smell, it was breakfast foods.... I'm glad it was.... it was an easier dinner and wouldn't upset my stomach.
I sat down at the table where I usually sit, Mom and dad were already sitting.
We sat in silences for a few minutes till my dad broke the silence....
Dad: "So? What happened?"
"I told what happened...."
Dad: "I want more of a clear story... Like does Bowie know about this? Is the baby even Bowie's? When did you find out?"
"It happened at the party, Dave and Nathan, these kids at school, spiked Katelyns drink.... I obviously got drunk and so did Bowie, and poof! It happened. The baby has to be Bowie's, I don't think it's anyone's else, I woke up next to him the next morning. Bowie doesn't know about this... I tried calling him, he must've changed his number because a little boy answered. It was 3 days ago when I found out I was pregnant.... during school. I snuck out.... please don't say anything mom till the end... Anyways I snuck out bought a pregnancy test and it turned out to be positive.... Katelyn found me crying in the bathroom and took me to the doctors to make sure it was actually baby, obviously it was."
Dad: "Ok.... why didn't you tell us sooner? And have you tried contacting him on social media?"
"Yes. Me and Katelyn did... we found nothing. And oh, Katelyn said he had moved too.... at this point I don't know what to do with Bowie. And I was gonna tell you guys... I promise..... I just had to find the right time and day, an-and you guys were so happy the past couple of days and I didn't want to ruin that.."
I started to cry.
I actually did feel bad, this past week they both have been happy and didn't have to worry about me, but now they do. I wanted to prove them wrong about myself, but I guess that's to late....
Dad: "Wow, Celia..... what do you think about this?"
Mom: "Obviously I'm disappointed.... and upset. But it was kinda my fault too..."
Dad: "It was?"
"It was?!"
I was so confused at this point.
Mom: " I could've told her no to the party.... I had a feeling she wouldn't listen, I told her to not drink anything.... obviously she did.... I should've known better."
"No Mom, you shouldn't have.... I should've known better.... Katelyn told me everything would be fine, that she checked to make sure the boys didn't sneak any alcohol in the party.... they did and she didn't see it.... I kept saying no even though both her and Bowie kept telling me everything was gonna be fine. I should've not taken it because I did have a small feeling that Katelyn was wrong."
Mom: "Yea, I guess that's sounds accurate... so I guess I'm not wrong!"
"Thanks mom.... I was trying to help...."
Dad: "ok that's enough. Anyways, Bex, you know we aren't just gonna let this go.... right?"
"Yes. I know."
Dad: "Ok. Well I'm gonna list out my things I think you should be punished for.... and what Your responsibilities are gonna be. Then your mom can say what she thinks. I don't want any attitude.... got it?"
"Yes. I do."
I knew I was gonna face some consequences so I'm not surprised.
Dad: "Ok then.... I don't think she should be able to go out with friends at all and no driving anywhere on her motorcycle.... well since she really can't.... but can only drive our car if we give her permission."
Ok.... I don't mind the whole driving thing.... but I don't know about the whole Friend thing.
Mom: "Well Ham, like I said.... I'm upset with her, but maybe let's not push the whole Friend thing that far.... I think she can only hangout with Katelyn, but we both need to know where she's going and she needs to be home at a certain time. And yes, I agree with the car thing."
For once in my life, I agree with my mom.
Dad: "Ok fine.... Bex? You understand?"
"Yes."
After a few more minutes I finished my dinner and headed upstairs.
I forgot about my phone and walked into my room with my phone buzzing like crazy.... can Katelyn ever let me breathe?!
I picked up my phone and every text message and call was from Katelyn. I texted her saying that I hung up because my mom and dad found out and I explained everything to her.
After all of this, she replied...
"Ok. Glad your good! Now back to my story."
I laughed.
This is why I can't go 9 months without seeing or talking to her.
She helps me a lot.
I love her.
As a best friend of course!
